Asian Artistry & Rich Razzleberry Fusion

I know you are probably tired of seeing cards made with Rich Razzleberry, but I can't seem to help myself. Please forgive me.



I used the Asian Artistry image that I think resembles orchids, stamped with Versamark and embossed in gold. This photo doesn't show it very well but the plant is in an oval bowl that has been shaded with Chocolate Chip ink and a sponge dauber to give it more dimension and adhered to the card with Stampin' dimensionals. The image and sentiment are mounted onto Melon Mambo.



Hope you come back soon.



Supplies:

Stamps: Asian Artistry (Level 2 Hostess) and Teeny Tiny Messages

Paper: Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White, & Melon Mambo cardstock, Razzleberry Lemonade DP

Ink: Versamark and Chocolate Chip

Misc: Large Oval Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder, gold ribbon from my stash

Circle Circus

I have been wanting to use the Circle Circus set so I put it together with Rich Razzleberry (my current favorite In Color). I used a piece of Whisper White cardstock and stamped various circles with Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry inks and finished it up with Bermuda Bay Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon. This is the best ribbon because you can use the plain side of the ribbon without worrying about the polka dots showing through. The sentiment is stamped in Rich Razzleberry on Whisper White and then punched with a 1 1/4" circle punch and mounted on three other 1 3/8" circles of Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry.

This is another one of the cards that I will be doing at my August 8th class from 1:00 to 3:00 pm in Hobby Lobby at the intersection of Beach Blvd. & San Pablo Rd. I hope you will stop in to take the class or just stop by to say hello.

See you there.

CHA TRIP

Yesterday was unbelievable. My sister and I went to CHA in Orlando for the day and had the pleasure of doing it with 50 other women and 2 husbands (what were they thinking) on a bus trip. It was a very long day waking up at 4:30 AM and getting home at 9:00 PM. CHA wasn't exactly what we were expecting, but we did have a good time. Our two big complaints were that the make and take lines were horrendous and we were totally exhausted by the time we got home. Lots of goodies to choose from and I found several items I couldn't live without.

Fortunately I had a card waiting in the wings that I am able to show you today. This card uses the elephant from Stampin' Up's Animal Stories on Whisper White with Melon Mambo ink. This card was very easy to complete and I think it's a cute little card to welcome a new baby.

Supplies:

Stamps: Animal Stores and Teeny Tiny Wishes

Paper: Whisper White, Melon Mambo cardstock & Melon Mambo designer paper

Ink: Melon Mambo

Misc: Melon Mambo Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon, Eyelet Border Punch, Small & Large Oval Punches, Stampin' Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello everyone. See, I promised that I would try and be a more consistent blogger. I'm glad to see you came back for a visit

I CASE'd this card from Lee Conrey and changed it up a tiny bit. I used the Animal Stories stamp set for the main image and the grasses were made with the Autumn Days stamp set. The sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes. Chocolate Chip was used for the card base with Whisper White, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip for the layering of the stamped image which was stamped with Old Olive. The cute designer paper is called Tall Tales. I hope you like my version of Lee's card.
See you soon!

Thoughts & Prayers

I really love the In Color of Rich Razzleberry. It is so rich looking (no pun intended). Love, love, love it!!!

This is another simple, yet elegant, card. I used the beautiful, flowing tree from the Thoughts & Prayers set and colored it with my Stampin' Write Markers instead of using an inkpad. This enabled me to have separate colors for the leaves and branches.

Supplies:

Stamps: Thoughts & Prayers, It's Your Birthday (retired)

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Brushed Gold, Whisper White

Designer Paper: Rich Razzleberry Patterns

Accessories: Stampin' Write Markers in Rich Razzleberry and Close to Cocoa, Rich Razzleberry 1/2" Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon

Asian Artistry

Today I am sharing a card made with the Stampin' Up Level 2 Hostess Set called Asian Artistry. This is a simple card made with the new In Colors Soft Suede and Dusty Durango and the Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Paper. I will be demonstrating this card and 3 others at my next class. I hope to see you there.

Supplies:

Stamps: SU Asian Artistry

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Dusty Durango, Whisper White

Designer Paper: Razzleberry Lemonade

Ink: Soft Suede

Accessories: Dusty Durango 1/2" Polka-Dot Grograin Ribbon, Stampin' Write Marker in Crushed Curry, Gold Brads

A Kiss For Chloe

Isn't this the sweetest image? It is called A Kiss For Chloe and is from a stamp company called Stampavie. Many of their stamps are of vintage looking children and I just love them. I purchased my stamp from Stampers Dream and the image was colored with my Stampin' Up Markers.

Thank you so much for stopping back at my blog. I know it has been a long time since I posted but hope to be a better blogger in the future. You all know how it is--the older you get the faster life seems to pass by. I can't even begin to understand where the time has gone and can only wish it was spent doing something fun and exciting (but it wasn't).

I will post again in a couple of days because I have been working very hard on some Stampin' Up only cards in hopes of getting some classes together. See you soon!
